Publisher's summary

Jaime Primak Sullivan, a Jersey-bred, tough-as-nails PR maven - and unlikely transplant in an upscale suburb of Birmingham, Alabama - has spent her entire life crossing the line: whether she's pushing the boundaries of what proper Southern ladies consider to be "polite behavior" or literally traversing the Mason-Dixon line in the name of love. She isn't afraid to say what everyone is thinking when it comes to love, sex, friendship, and many other topics that are all too often sugar-coated in polite Southern company. But when a meet-cute scenario right out of a Nora Ephron movie upends her life, Jaime finds herself a reluctant "knish out of water", smack-dab in the Deep South, starting a life with her new husband, the perfect Southern gentleman.

In The Southern Education of a Jersey Girl, Jaime shares hard-learned lessons on Southern etiquette, deep-fried foods, college football, and matters of the heart while living in the heart of Dixie, with her quintessential ball-busting and side-splitting Jersey twist.

Critic reviews

"Sullivan's self-deprecating humor makes her a comfortable, chatty companion.... It's hard to resist Sullivan's spunky, outgoing personality." ( Kirkus)

Road Trip Entertainment

On a road trip with my 20 year old daughter to set up her new apartment at college. 16 hour in a car can require more than music. I said hey I listen to this gal all the time and she has a book. Daughter is skeptical... so I play a cafeetawk, she was sold. We laughed, we cried, we cheered thank you, Jamie Primak Sullivan for your brutal honesty and humor. Hours well spent with my independent, strong will, adventurer. The Southern Education of a Jersey Girl was wonderful.

Share this book! Share Jaime!

This book made me laugh, made me cry and made me realize how truly wonderful differences in people are and how to recognize the beauty that is difference. Jaime, as always, is refreshingly open and honest. If you are wanting to meet a friend through her words, grab The Southern Education of a Jersey girl and read it, then enjoy your coffee and relish the learning from your new friend in Cawfeetawk!

Yankee Gals MUST Read

I love this book. I think all Yankee girls will too. The title is what caught my eye while I was looking around Audible recommendations. Being from New Jersey and traveling all over & living in Virginia, I can relate to a lot of her tales. I enjoyed how honest & funny Jaime is within her dialogue and appreciate her sharing.

Absolutely fantastic entertaining and wonderful!!!

Even though I pre-ordered this book I just didn't have a chance to sit down and read it being a mother of three and working two full-time jobs and owning a horse so I bought it off of audible.com and listened to it on my way to and from work...and then I ended up bringing in it in the house with me and listening to it until the book was over!!! I loved and appreciated the honest story of her life and also the fact that she was the boys I could hear her emotion much better than if another boys had narrated her book... I'm a fan for life thank you Jaime for this gift
